Iran: Protest by vendors in Ahvaz continues

 According to reports, a group of vendors in downtown Ahvaz (south-western Iran) gathered in front of Khuzestan Governor’s office, demanding that their problems be addressed.

This was the second gathering in recent weeks. The previous one was held three days ago at the same place, during which the vendors protested over their unresolved problems.

One of the vendors in downtown Ahvaz said: “None of the officials attended these job-related gatherings nor did they respond to vendors’ demands.”

He added: “After the rounding up of vendors’ stands form the Ahvaz Central Market, the vendors in downtown Ahvaz have become displaced and jobless.”
